Tolkien Faramir

We all know that Faramir in the movies was not portrayed as Tolkien had created him. But does anybody else realize that this is only within The Two Towers? In The Return of the King, I definitely see the book Faramir come to life on the screen.

In The Two Towers, PJ creates a confused man with reluctance and a lust for power. We all know this is opposite of how Faramir appeared when we first meet him in Ithilien in the books. But after Jackson FINALLY makes Faramir see Frodo's cause (at Osgoliath, where Frodo and Sam never were might I add, completely taken away from their path...but that's another ramble) we see the book Faramir at last.

I just wanted to point this out, because everybody hates how Faramir was portrayed in the films, and no doubt he was misportrayed in TTT...but nobody seems to realize how the true Faramir is seen within ROTK.
